Il tempo è un'apparenza che cambia insieme a me (Diaframma)

"Ma io no, proprio no,
sento l'estate in tutto quello che ho
e così il giorno è
un grande giorno da dedicare a te.
E tutto il resto non conta e sai perché?
Sento l'estate in tutto quello che c'è!"

The Lonesome Boatman

I saw which nearly broke my heart

A tramp lay dying

In the park

I knelt beside him to hear him speak

And the words that

He spoke were very

Weak

He told me a story of

Long since past

Of a gallant ship with it’s long grey mast

Of his captain’s cap

With it’s shining braid

And the wonderfull voyages that he made

Oh silent annie was that great ships name

Like a token of love

He spoke her name

She sailed round the horn

Ay’e more than once

She could cut through

The waves

Like a sharpen’d lance

Oh believe me he said

As his eyes filled with tears

Like a drunk on the corner

Remembering his years

He reached out his hand

And he took it in mine

I believe you i said

And he gave a sad smile

Then came the day when they towed her away

Her sid’es they were sore

From the sea’s angered spray

He said she’s unfit to

Sail out once more

They tugged her more windward

All around sandyshore

As they broke silent annie

I watched with a sigh

I remembered her beauty

When i was a boy

She was my one love my

Lifes only dream

When we sailed out together

As captain and queen

It started to rain i

Felt my hand tight

He squeezed even harder

As he ended the fight

The people they gathered

And watched with dismay

The ambulance men came and took him away

I got to my feet and i

Walked through the park

The sun it had gone but

It was not yet dark

My body was wet my

Clothes were not many

My thoughts were around

By the ship silent annie

There is Power in a Union

There is power in a factory, power in the LINE

Power in the hands of a worker

But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand

There is power in a Union

Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood

The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for

From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud

War has always been the bosses' way, sir

The Union forever defending our rights

Down with the blackleg, all workers unite

With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands

There is power in a Union

Now I long for the morning that they realise

Brutality and unjust laws can not defeat us

But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise

When the bosses send their lackies out to cheat us?

Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own

Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?

What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child

There is power in a Union

The Union forever defending our rights

Down with the blackleg, all workers unite

With our brothers and our sisters together we will stand

There is power in a Union.

Ten years without Joe Strummer

It's been 10 years without Joe Strummer...
He should've lived another 50 years, but we've got to keep going and have no fear...

"Now war is declared and battle come down.
come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls"

David Bowie - Absolute Beginners

Adoro questa versione di Absolute Beginners. In un mese l'avrò ascoltata almeno una decina di volte.
Buon ascolto.

I've nothing much to offerThere's nothing much to takeI'm an absolute beginnerAnd I'm absolutely saneAs long as we're togetherThe rest can go to hellI absolutely love youBut we're absolute beginnersWith eyes completely openBut nervous all the same

If our love songCould fly over mountainsCould laugh at the oceanJust like the filmsThere's no reasonTo feel all the hard timesTo lay down the hard linesIt's absolutely true

Nothing much could happenNothing we can't shakeOh we're absolute beginnersWith nothing much at stakeAs long as you're still smilingThere's nothing more I needI absolutely love youBut we're absolute beginnersBut if my love is your loveWe're certain to succeed

If our love songCould fly over mountainsSail over heartachesJust like the filmsThere's no reasonTo feel all the hard timesTo lay down the hard linesIt's absolutely true
